G'day Rod,

The current stock of the Air-Volution swags all come with the 50mm High-Density Foam Mattress, you have to purchase the 70mm mattress separately at this stage. 

G'day Rod,

The 1400 Swag will sit on top of the stretcher without straps to attach it. The swag's guy ropes will need to be used to ensure the swag stays nicely tensioned and stable on top of the stretcher.

G'day Reuben,

1400 wide mattresses are compatible with 1400 wide swags generally.  There may be a small discrepancy with measurements, but you shouldn't have any trouble.

G'day Melanie,

Generally, swag awning poles are interchangeable between brands.
Hope that helps!

G'day Luke,

Yes, you'd be able to patch them if something came up mid-trip, but we'd recommend replacing the tube when you get a chance.  These are available through Darche directly.

G'day Susan,

Generally, you'd get in a swag just as you've stated. In rainy weather you could either pitch the swag under a tarp shelter, or do the quick open and jump in/out. It can be a bit of a gamble in wet weather, but lots of people will set up their swag under a side awning or tarp shelter to reduce the likelihood of getting water in your swag when you enter/exit in the rain.

G'day Wayne,

There is no way to attach a centre pole to this swag due to the way it has been designed. If the swag is adequately inflated and pegged out there shouldn't be a need for a centre pole.

G'day Syd,

Canvas as a material is waterproof when it is under tension. As long as the swag is seasoned when new then the stitch holes will seal up and stop any water seeping in through the seams.

G'day Syd,

Yes the AD 1400 is a double swag and has been designed for two people to share. A standard double bed is around 140cm wide, so if you're used to a Queen or Larger, then maybe you'll find it a little squeezy.

G'day Joel,

The fitting on the Air-Volution Swags won't work with an air compressor, so you'll be best sticking to the hand pump.

This swag isn't available in the BYOS range unfortunately, Tash, it comes all as one kit rather than separate components.

You can still upgrade the mattress, but you'd have to buy the swag with original mattress plus the upgraded mattress. Sorry.

G'day Nick,

As far as I understand, we've not received any feedback that suggests the sides of the Air-Volution AD Swag sag in, however, it's possible this may happen as there's no centre dome pole to support the canvas on the sides. 

G'day Mark,

That's a tough one to answer as durability often depends on the amount of usage. I did a quick search through our repair/warranties system and I can't find any details of customers having trouble with the bladders. We had one chap that had a problem with a part in the valve and it looks like Darche sent a replacement out to him, but that's it. Whilst other swags might have longer warranties, the warranty won't always cover broken poles as it depends on how the breakage occurred. 

G'day Jason, 

I've just looked into this for you, and as far as we know there isn't a second generation of this swag model.

I'll make sure that we change the specs on our website to match Darche (320gsm) - so thanks for giving us a heads up, and apologies for the mix-up. 

G'day Charl,

Because the Darche Air-Volution AD 1400 Swag is so wide, there aren't any ideal solutions for a stretcher for them. All of the single stretchers would be too small and whilst a double would work, you'd be looking at having a pole down the middle of your swag.

G'day Justin,

Theoretically, you could use the Queen Anywhere Bed with the AD1400 model, it's not something we've ever tried here, but it could work, I'm just not sure it would be overly comfortable.

G'day Ben,

Unfortunately not, as your mouth won't be able to generate the approx 7 PSI pressure required.

G'day Chris,

Thanks for the request of a product video on the Darche Air-Volution™ AD 1400 Swag. Product videos are quite new for us and we already have a bit of a request list to get through at the moment, but we'll definitely add the swag on and get it done ASAP.
